Highline Community College students Anna Boyd, of Tukwila, and Wassan Singh, of Auburn, have been named members of the 2010 All-Washington Academic Team.

Highline is located in Des Moines.

The All-Washington Academic Team honors the top two students from each of the state's 34 technical and community college for academic achievement and community service.

In addition, Boyd received national recognition as a 2010 Coca-Cola Bronze Scholar. Selection as a Coca-Cola Scholar is based on scores earned in the All-USA Academic Team competition and Boyd will be listed in an April issue of USA Today.

All-Washington Academic Team members receive a $250 scholarship from KeyBank of Washington and a $500 scholarship from Northwest Education Loan Association.

Boyd, 17, discovered a stronger appreciation for music while earning her associate of arts degree at Highline.

She has been a strong presence in the Music department, playing the violin in the string ensemble and singing in the Highline Chorale. She is also a teaching assistant in Highline's Honor Scholars program where she helps students improve their personal essays for four-year school applications.

She plans on attending a four-year school with a strong music program after she graduates this spring.

Singh, 25, has successfully balanced working at Auburn Regional Hospital as a polysomnography technician while earning an Associate of Arts in nursing.

He first came to Highline to study polysomnography technology and earned his Associate of Applied Science degree. He decided to continue his education in the nursing program and plans on pursuing a Bachelor of Science in nursing at the University of Washington this fall.

He currently serves as co-president of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), HCC chapter.

He credits the leader of the Honors Scholar program, Barbara Clinton, with his academic and personal success.
